Holydays and crisis I was last weekend in Altea, in the south of Spain. It´s a beautiful little town, with mountains and the sea, altogether. It´s close to Benidorm, more famous than Altea and less charming. Altea is a refuge for artists. People live there in other way, you know, there is a terrible crisis, you can´t pay the rent, you have bank´s phone calls everyday, and you have a marvellous smile on your face when you´re attending the others, listening them. I highly recommend going there and help them in this horrible time by having the most delicious holydays with lovely people.
